Thank you to everyone who attended TIME OUT 2017!

We had a great day filled with self-care, reflection and connection. As Keynote Facilitator, Beth Kanter really opened our eyes to the importance of looking after ourselves and each other in this sector. Burnout is a real health issue and Beth helped us with the tools and understanding to be able to identify when it’s imminent and how we can thwart it. Standing desks, walking meetings, healthy eating and actually taking real vacations are important so that we not only feel great, but we’re more productive and effective in our organizations.

Dr. Charlotte Young’s graphic recording was incredible to watch as it developed! The final result was beautiful and captured the main themes throughout the day. Check out the photos below for the progress and final result!

A HUGE thank you to all who participated and lent their expertise to the Carnival of Conversations;

TIME OUT IS BACK!

You’ve waited all year to hear us say it again – it’s time for TIME OUT!

Put yourself in a ‘time out’ for the day. Not because you are bad. Because you are being TOO good. As leaders of social change, we are often doing so much for our organizations and for others that we feel we are too busy to learn. Too busy to look at the big picture. Too busy to spend time with others and look after ourselves. As leaders we need time to reflect, learn and connect. So it’s time. Time for a TIME OUT!

Join us for TIME OUT 2017, where leaders of social change from Peel and beyond gather to recharge AND renew!

MORNING SESSION

The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout

The passion that nonprofit professionals feel for their work is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, that fervor helps them keep going in the face of difficult challenges, especially in the early stages of their careers. On the other hand, they can be so driven they don’t stop to refuel or smell the proverbial roses or even notice they are experiencing symptoms of burnout. This interactive workshop is based on Beth Kanter’s new book, The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout (http://bit.ly/happyhealthynpbook).

Learning Objectives:

Take a self-assessment to determine burnout symptoms and opportunities to create self-care habits

Nonprofits are often asked by funders to report on their performance. In response, we develop performance measures to track, on an ongoing basis, if what we are doing is having the desired effect. There are so many things that could be measured in our everyday...
